Part two of the camping trip

So where did we get to.. ah yes Thursday and the choo choo train.

Friday we went to see The Falkirk Wheel



£84.5 million that cost to build you know. So of course you can't go all that way and not go on it can you?

This was the nice man that tied the boat so it wouldn't fall off. Not that there is any danger of that, it's actually to stop the boat shifting about. But wee one was not convinced and hung on the whole way up and down. :)


We were joined on the boat by lots of lovely people and some exceptionally rude old Italians ladies. They spoke the whole way through the boat masters talk and if they barged past me once so they could take a photo they must have bashed me a hundred times. Grrr!



Anyway it was fun in an educational kind of way, the smalls enjoyed it. :) I then paid what could have nearly been a mortgage payment for us to sit by the canal and have lunch watching the swans.

Later getting back to the campsite that we'd left deserted but for our lone tent, we found ten new tents had popped up in our abscence and wee one had three new wee friends to play with.

The rain had finally stopped so we lit a fire and as always happens on our camping trips we spent the night with all the kids of the campsite round our fire. :)
